If you are referring to the color console in Jim Lovell's house, it lookes to me to be a Magnavox. It has their trademark crt bezel. In the nursing home scene there is a roundie showing nothing but snow. It is a great movie and the vintage tv sets are a real bonus.

Quiz Show is another great movie to see working vintage sets.
